This was an unexpected surprise! I read The Family Upstairs last January and wasn’t aware that a sequel was to follow. I did look up a quick synopsis of the last book just so I could remember the nuts and bolts of the story. I love how the book picks up where the last ends and how you immediately fall back into the storytelling and the harrowing lives of the characters.  Especially Henry, oh that Henry! 
I will definitely re-read this book. Even adding this and The Family Upstairs to my book collection. Not related to the book, but I was a bit distracted reading it, my own fault, was reading another book simultaneously. Also was rushing to read because I kept seeing how people were waiting for my copy since it’s new book release. So will definitely read this again but I absolutely don’t mind. Loved the flow of the writing and absolutely loved how it ended.
